KILLED HIS MOTHER.
The Awful Confession OF Young Hawkins,
of IsliD. L. l.

New YORK, Oct 5.-Asbury Hawkins has
confessed to the police of Islip, l. l., that he
shot and killed his mother, who was found
because she opposed his marriage to girl
named Hattie Shrock, whose reputation had
been impaired He says he took his mother
out riding Saturday night to talk the matter
over, but could not persuade her to consent,
and in sudden passion he shot her In
the head and afterward beat her with
the revolver and threw the body out on the
road. The blood in the buggy was the clew
which pointed to young Hawkins as the
murderer. The people are very much excited
over the affair, and may attempt violence.

Signal Officer Greeiy Thinks Our Con-
gressmen Might Do Better.
Copyright, 1887 by the California associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 31st - Especial l.
General Greely, Chief Signal Service Officer,
in a conversation with your correspond
ent, said that after June 3Oth, the begin
ming of the fiscal year, he hoped to be able
to give the Pacific coast all the facilities
that were required to furnish farmers,
fruit-growers and viticulturists with
quick information about the weather proba-
bilities. General Greely is fully aware OF
the needs of California in this respect, but
he says Congress left him without sufficient
funds to maintain special service during
the present year, and he had no discretion
but to cut it down and keep within the
limits of the appropriation. He asked
Congress at the last session to appropriate
$1,000 for the construction of a special
telegraph line to Point Reyes, which could
be used not only to furnish weather reports
but to give San Francisco merchants and
shippers the earliest information of the
arrival of incoming vessels and in case of
wrecks to quickly communicate with the
city for assistance. Congress only voted
81, 500 for the purpose.
In about two weeks Greely will visit New
York to see if he cannot lease a wire in the
Western Union cable which crosses the en-
trance to the harbor thus obviating the ne.
cessity for laying new cable and establish
ing service within the maximum voted
by Congress. General Greely said that Cal
ifornia seemed to be rather ignored by
Congress in the matter of appropriations,
and he was afraid there was trouble in the
delegation in Congressional they do not
all pull together. 1t seems to me-" said
he, that if the Pacific coast Representa-
ttves would make united stand for such
appropriations as the needs of that section
demand and vote against everything that
is proposed TOR every other section until
their power is felt, that they could get
much larger APPROXIMATIONS.

The Maine Statesman Talks Freely of His
Trip to Europe.
NEw YORK, May 31st.-The World will
print tomorrow an elaborate account of a
visit made by its correspondent to Mr.
Blaine at his home in Augusta, Maine,
and afterwards at his cottage ar Bar
Harbor, in the course of which Blaine
gave fully his plans for his forth
coming trip. He discussed the
false reports of his failing health, and re-
ferred at length to the work he has be-
slowed on the books just finished
He says his visit abroad will
extend over more than year.
and doubtless beyond the time of the meet
ing of the next National Convention. Mr.
Blaine said: " | am going abroad, and ex-
pect to be away about year. Mrs. Blaine
and my two daughters, Margarite and Hat
tie, will make up the party. l have en-
gagged state-rooms on the German Lloyds
ship Ems, which sails June Sth. We
shall stop at southampton and go at
once to London. We intend to spend
considerable time travelling through Great
Britain. After England, we will probably
go to Scotland and Ireland. Then, | think,
we shall spend some time in Germany, and
after that take in France. By this time it
will probably be getting so late in the year
that Spain and Italy will be COM
Portable. We intend to make
tour through these countries and
spend most of the winter along the
Mediterranean. We will probably make
long visits in Rome and Greece, and per-
haps stop brief time i'll ConstantinOple
and visit the scenes of the recent earth
quakes in the south of France ana adjoining
portions of Italy The trip is sufficient to
cover great deal of ground, without hur-
rying."
The correspondents asked: How about
the report, Mr.. Blaine, that you contem-
plate in some way assisting MIR. Gladstone
and the Home Rule party
THAT story is purely imaginative. l
never had such an idea in my mind. No,
indeed, | shall do nothing of the kind"
Mr.. Blaine positively declined to talk
about politics, except that while in CONVEX
sation with correspondent in his cottage at
Bar Harbor he said, in regard to the Burch-
ard incident in 1884: " | did not hear what
he said, but the reporters heard it, and the
next day every paper in the country had
it. of course. But, as matter of
fact, did not hear it myself. Why, out in
Indiana they had it that | said it Oh,
yes, it went all over the State, and in
good many places in the West they had
slips of paper printed with Read what
Mr.. Blaine says on them, and dis
trlbuted them i'll front of the churches on
Sunday. That is what lost me the election.
You know, OF course, how close it was.
Well, in New York alone it lost me several
thousand votes-a good dea! more than
enough to have carried the State. | have
never felt sure that l was not elected.
Il was matter of less than 600 votes 10
have turned New York the other way.
When it is as close as that there can be no
certainty of the count. | do not think it
can be ever said with certainty which one
of us really got the most votes"
